bishop and dragonfly

hello fellow artist! im jumping to get me a rotary mainly for b&g, also may color with it, only if its a big piece.

im inbetween getting either of these nice machines. my only concern are repair parts. looking over and over again on reviews of each machine, i finally decided on wanting a BISHOP, because i really dont want a give system. but if i get a bishop no one in europe that i know of sells repair parts. the beautiful DRAGONFLY on the other hand, my original wanting, i can get my hands on parts from a nearby supplier. if i were to need a new motor id be fucked any way sending it to either US or Switzerland. i atleast have my dad in the states able to purchase the bishop parts and send them over (the slide is the only thing i cant find in europe).

ive also been recommended the diablo swiss. but, same deal, the only supplier in spain that has them, im affraid they may just be smart enough to buy the refurbished machines, seeing thats an option at frictiontattoo.co. might put out for a year then BAM, im fucked.

i´d like to hear anyones opionion that has owned and worked both of these machines. in durability mostly. anyone wanna hum some advice will be greatly apreciatted!

Hi buddy,
I have 2 Dragonflies (x1) and both has been running around 150 hours.
I have no problem with it so I can really recommend it.
Also I have ordered just today a Bishop, just to try it out. I'll let you know my experiences but I'm sure someone else will be able to give you better informations.
